Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium-ion battery technology, and particularly to lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry and its preparation method, cathode sheet and its preparation method, and lithium-ion battery. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) has a higher voltage platform than lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and about 15% higher energy for the same capacity, making it more competitive. However, due to manganese doping, LMFP has poor electronic and ionic conductivity and poor electrochemical performance. Therefore, in commercial applications, LMFP is usually modified by carbon coating, nano-sizing, and doping.

[0003] Slurry preparation is a crucial step in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, accounting for 30% of the process and playing a decisive role. The quality of the slurry directly impacts the coating and the overall performance of the final lithium-ion battery. In actual production, nano-sizing techniques can effectively enhance the conductivity of LMFPs, with primary particles typically having an average particle size of 20–300 nm and a specific surface area of ​​approximately 15–30 m² / g. However, during slurry preparation, on the one hand, small-diameter LMFP particles are prone to agglomeration, leading to difficulties in sieving the slurry, coating particles, and scratches. On the other hand, the small-diameter, large-specific-surface-area LMFP absorbs a large amount of adhesive, reducing the adhesion between active particles and between active particles and the foil. This ultimately results in problems such as electrode coating powder shedding, cracking, and powder shedding during rolling, severely affecting the electrical and safety performance of LMFP lithium-ion batteries.

[0004] Current homogenization techniques improve processing performance by combining small-particle LMFP with other large-particle materials (such as ternary materials), but they do not fundamentally address the inherent processing problems of LMFP material itself, such as dispersion difficulties caused by its small particle size and large specific surface area. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method that can solve the dispersion difficulties encountered during the homogenization of small-particle-size, large-specific-surface-area LMFP, while also improving the slurry's adhesion and stability, and improving the bonding effect of LMFP electrodes as well as addressing issues such as electrode cracking, powder shedding, and particle scratches.

[0042] (1) Preparation of adhesive solution: The adhesive and solvent are mixed evenly to prepare the adhesive solution. The adhesive is polyvinylidene fluoride with a molecular weight of 700,000 to 1,200,000. The adhesive accounts for 5% to 8% of the mass fraction of the adhesive solution.

After adjusting the viscosity, the slurry is defoamed and sieved to obtain the lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry.

[0048] (7) Coating and Rolling: The lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry obtained in step (6) is coated onto carbon-coated aluminum foil, with a single-sided density of 17.53 mg / cm³. 2 The coating speed is 8 m / min, the coating temperature is 84~93℃, and the compaction density is 2.3 g / m³. 3 After being rolled and slit, the LMFP positive electrode sheet is obtained.

[0056] Step (2) Preparation of conductive agent solution: The dispersant polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), carbon nanotube slurry (Cabot GNC-N-19) and the binder solution prepared in step (1) are added to a mixing tank at a mass ratio of 1:12.5:89.3.

The mixing ratio is LMFP to PVDF, carbon nanotubes and dispersant in a mass ratio of 96.3:2.5:0.25:0.4. Then, solvent NMP is added with a mass ratio of NMP:LMFP=0.13:1. The mixture is pre-dispersed for 20 min at a stirring speed of 6.8 m / s, a temperature of 30~40℃ and a vacuum degree of ≤-90 kPa. Then, it is high-speed dispersed for 120 min at a stirring speed of 17.7 m / s, a temperature controlled at 30~40℃ and a vacuum degree of ≤-90 kPa to prepare a second slurry with a solid content of 58 wt%, a viscosity between 5000 and 12000 mPa·s and exhibiting a fluid dynamic state.

Control the stirring speed at 6.8 m / s, the adjustment time at 30 min, the temperature at 25 ± 2℃, and the vacuum degree at ≤-90 kPa. Adjust the slurry viscosity to 7000 mPa·s. After defoaming, pass the slurry through a 150-mesh sieve to obtain the lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry. The mass ratio of LMFP, conductive carbon black, carbon nanotubes, PVDF, and dispersant in the prepared lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry is 96.3:0.55:0.25:2.5:0.4.

[0061] Step (7) Coating and Rolling: The lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry obtained in step (6) is coated onto carbon-coated aluminum foil, with a single-sided density of 17.53 mg / cm³. 2 The coating speed is 8 m / min, the coating temperature is 84–93℃, and after rolling, the electrode compaction density is 2.3 g / m³. 3 After slitting, the LMFP positive electrode sheet is obtained.

[0062] Step (8) Preparation of lithium-ion battery: The positive electrode sheet prepared above is used as the positive electrode of lithium-ion battery, and assembled with electrolyte, negative electrode and separator to obtain lithium-ion battery.

[0094] Step (1) Preparation of adhesive solution: Add PVDF adhesive and NMP solvent to a mixing tank at a mass ratio of 1:13.3, and pre-stir at a stirring speed of 2.7 m / s for 25±2℃ for 30 min (pre-stirring is to prevent PVDF from flying away and being drawn away during high-speed dispersion under vacuum, which would reduce the actual solid content); then disperse at a stirring speed of 18.7 m / s, a temperature controlled at 35~45℃, and a vacuum degree of ≤-90kPa for 150 min to prepare the adhesive solution.

[0095] Step (2) Activation mixing: The positive electrode active material LMFP and conductive carbon black (the mass ratio of LMFP to conductive carbon black is 96.3:0.55) are simultaneously added to the mixing tank for dry mixing. The linear velocity is controlled at 2.7m / s, the temperature is 25±2℃, and the stirring time is 30min to obtain the active powder.

[0096] Step (3) First addition of adhesive: The adhesive solution prepared in step 1 is added to the powder prepared in step 2. The mass ratio of LMFP in the powder to PVDF in the added adhesive solution is 96.3:1.25 (that is, the mass of PVDF added in step 3 accounts for 50% of the total mass of PVDF contained in the positive electrode slurry). Then, solvent NMP is added with a mass ratio of NMP:LMFP=0.22:1. The first slurry with a solid content of 72wt% is prepared by stirring at a linear speed of 0.5m / s, a temperature of 25±2℃ and a kneading time of 120min.

[0097] Step (4) Secondary Addition: Add the remaining adhesive solution prepared in Step 1 to the first slurry prepared in Step 3. At this time, the mass ratio of LMFP to PVDF in the adhesive solution is 96.3:2.5. Add solvent NMP, with a mass ratio of NMP:LMFP = 0.13:1. Pre-disperse for 20 min under the conditions of stirring linear speed of 6.8 m / s, temperature controlled at 30~40℃, and vacuum degree ≤-90kPa. Then add solvent NMP again, with a mass ratio of NMP:LMFP = 0.13:1, and stir linearly at 6.8 m / s. The mixture was pre-dispersed for 20 min at a temperature of 30-40℃ and a vacuum degree of ≤-90 kPa. Then, carbon nanotube slurry and dispersant were added. At this time, the mass ratio of LMFP to carbon nanotubes and dispersant was 96.3:0.25:0.4. The mixture was then dispersed at high speed for 120 min at a stirring linear speed of 17.7 m / s, a temperature of 30-40℃, and a vacuum degree of ≤-90 kPa to prepare a second slurry with a solid content of 58 wt%, a viscosity between 5000 and 12000 mPa·s, and exhibiting a fluid dynamic state.

[0098] Step (6) Viscosity Adjustment: Add an appropriate amount of NMP solvent to adjust the viscosity of the second slurry (each addition is made at a mass ratio of NMP:LMFP = 0.025 until the slurry viscosity is controlled within the range of 5000–7000 mPa·s). Control the stirring speed at 6.8 m / s, the adjustment time at 30 min, the temperature at 25 ± 2℃, and the vacuum degree at ≤-90 kPa. Adjust the slurry viscosity to 7000 mPa·s. After defoaming, pass the slurry through a 150-mesh sieve to obtain the lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry. The mass ratio of LMFP, conductive carbon black, carbon nanotubes, PVDF, and dispersant in the prepared lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry is 96.3:0.55:0.25:2.5:0.4.

[0099] Step (7) Coating and Rolling: The lithium manganese iron phosphate positive electrode slurry obtained in step (6) is coated on carbon-coated aluminum foil with a single-sided density of 17.53 mg / cm2, a coating speed of 8 m / min, and a coating temperature of 84-93℃. After rolling, the electrode compaction density is 2.3 g / m3. After slitting, the LMFP positive electrode sheet is obtained.

[0102] (2) Preparation of conductive agent solution: Dispersant, conductive carbon black, carbon nanotube slurry and binder solution were added to a mixing tank at a mass ratio of 1:1.37:12.5:89.3. The mixture was dispersed for 80 min under the conditions of stirring linear speed of 13.4 m / s, temperature control of 35~45℃ and vacuum degree of ≤-90kPa to prepare conductive agent solution B (different from the conductive agent solution in Example 1).

[0103] (3) First addition of adhesive: The conductive agent solution prepared in step (2) is added to the LMFP powder, wherein the mass ratio of LMFP to PVDF, carbon nanotubes, conductive carbon black and dispersant in the conductive agent solution B added in step (3) is 96.3:1.25:0.125:0.275:0.2, that is, the mass of PVDF added in step (3) accounts for 50% of the total mass of PVDF contained in the positive electrode slurry, and the solvent NMP is added. The stirring linear speed is 0.5m / s and the kneading time is 120min to prepare the first slurry with a solid content of 72wt%.

[0104] (4) Secondary addition of adhesive: The conductive agent adhesive B prepared in step (2) is added to the first slurry prepared in step (3). The mass ratio of LMFP in the first slurry to PVDF, carbon nanotubes, conductive carbon black and dispersant in conductive agent adhesive B is 96.3:2.5:0.25:0.55:0.4. The solvent NMP is added and pre-dispersed for 20 min under the conditions of stirring linear speed of 6.8 m / s, temperature control of 30~40℃ and vacuum degree of ≤-90kPa. Then, it is dispersed at high speed for 120 min under the conditions of stirring linear speed of 17.7 m / s, temperature control of 30~40℃ and vacuum degree of ≤-90kPa to prepare a second slurry with a viscosity between 5000 and 12000 mPa·s and exhibiting a fluid dynamic state.

[0108] In Comparative Example 5, the mass ratio of LMFP, conductive carbon black, carbon nanotubes, PVDF and dispersant in the lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry was 96.3:0.55:0.25:2.5:0.4.

[0109] Comparative Example 6 The lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry, cathode sheet, and lithium-ion battery were prepared according to the method of Example 1, with the difference being the following steps.

[0110] In step (2), the mass ratio of PVDF, carbon nanotubes and dispersant in conductive agent solution C (different from the conductive agent solution in Example 1) is 2.1:0.25:0.4.

[0111] In step (3), the mass ratio of LMFP to conductive carbon black is 96.7:0.55.

[0112] In step (4), the mass ratio of LMFP and conductive carbon black in the powder to PVDF, carbon nanotubes and dispersant in the conductive agent solution added in step (4) is 96.7:0.55:1.05:0.125:0.2, that is, the mass of PVDF added in step (3) accounts for 50% of the total mass of PVDF contained in the positive electrode slurry, and a first slurry with a solid content of 72wt% is obtained.

[0113] In step (5), the remaining conductive agent solution is mixed evenly with the first slurry, and the remaining steps are the same as in Example 1.

[0114] In Comparative Example 6, the mass ratio of LMFP, conductive carbon black, carbon nanotubes, PVDF and dispersant in the lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode slurry was 96.7:0.55:0.25:2.1:0.4.

[0120] (2) Use a glass rod to dip a small amount of the mixed positive electrode slurry above the maximum graduation line of the fineness plate. The amount of slurry should be slightly more than enough to fill the groove. Note that the sample should not contain air during the sampling and pouring process.

[0121] (3) Use your thumbs, index fingers and middle fingers to place the scraper horizontally on the upper part of the scraper, so that the edge of the scraper is in vertical contact with the surface of the scraper. Pull it from the deep part of the groove to the shallow part, and immediately observe the scale line where the particles in the groove are evenly exposed within 5 seconds. This value is the fineness of the sample.

[0137] Table 1: Performance Test Results of Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate Cathode Slurry

[0138] Figure 6-1 The kneading results for Example 1 show that the kneaded slurry has no dry powder, good viscosity, and good kneading effect.

[0139] Figure 6-2 For comparison example 6, the kneading results showed that the material agglomerated, had no stickiness, and did not string, indicating poor kneading effect. This suggests that the amount of PVDF was insufficient, resulting in poor adhesion.

[0140] Figure 7-1 The coating of Example 1 shows that the coated film has the characteristics of a smooth and even surface, uniform coating, good adhesion, no material peeling, no scratches, and no bubbles.

[0141] Figure 7-2 Compared to the coating of Comparative Example 1, there were obvious raised particles, powdering, particle scratches, and film cracking.

[0142] Figure 7-3 For comparison example 5, the coating surface has slightly raised particles, but no particle scratches or powder shedding.

[0143] Figure 8-1 The example shows the folding of the roller-pressed electrode sheet in Example 1. No powder falls off when folded, and no foil leaks from the fold.

[0144] Figure 8-2 For comparison, the electrode sheet of roller pressing is folded in half. Folding it in half causes powder to fall off, and the creases are severe and the foil leaks out.

[0145] Figure 8-3 As a comparative example, the electrode sheet of the 4-roller pressing is folded in half. Slight powder loss and foil leakage due to folding are observed.

[0146] As shown in Table 1 and the attached figures, compared with Comparative Example 1 (dry homogenization process), Comparative Example 2 (one-time sizing process), and Comparative Example 3 (dispersant added later), Example 1 has the smallest slurry fineness and is more stable. It exhibits the best electrode peel strength, membrane resistance, electrode dispersion, and coating state, and the rolled electrode has good flexibility. Furthermore, the wet two-step sizing process significantly improves the dispersion of LMFP and small-particle-size conductive agents, and also demonstrates a significant effect in reducing viscosity and increasing solids content in the slurry.

[0147] The pure dry process used in Comparative Example 1 had a poor dispersion effect on LMFP, with the largest changes in slurry viscosity and solid content. Due to the poor dispersion effect, the corresponding electrode coating slurry either did not form a film or had an extremely poor coating condition.

[0148] In Comparative Example 2, the mixed adhesive was added all at once. This resulted in a large amount of high-strength adhesive tightly coating the small-particle conductive carbon black and nano-sized LMFP during the kneading process, easily causing agglomeration between them and preventing them from functioning effectively as kneaders. In addition, LMFP and small-particle conductive agents also absorbed a large amount of adhesive during the kneading process, easily causing the slurry to rebound significantly and become unstable. Therefore, the fineness of the slurry scraper and the coating condition of the electrode were slightly worse. During the thick coating process, the electrode was prone to cracking and material loss, and the rolled electrode was brittle after rolling, with severe cracks when folded.

[0149] In Comparative Example 3, although other homogenization processes were the same as in Example 1, the electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance effects caused by the addition of dispersant limited the agglomeration of nano-sized LMFP and small-particle-size conductive carbon black in the slurry with higher viscosity after high-speed dispersion. This required extending the high-speed dispersion time, which was not conducive to controlling production costs. In order to meet the required discharge viscosity, more solvent NMP was required for viscosity adjustment. Therefore, its overall solid content was 1-2% lower than that of Example 1, and the slurry stability was worse. As a result, the dispersion state and electrode coating state of the slurry were poor, and the rolled electrode had micro-cracks when folded.

[0150] In Comparative Example 4, because the carbon nanotube slurry contains some NMP and additives, it is necessary to extend the high-speed dispersion time to achieve sufficient homogenization, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, its dispersibility deteriorates in high-solids slurry, leading to local agglomeration of carbon nanotubes, uneven coating, severe agglomeration, and poor coating consistency. Therefore, the dispersion state of the slurry and the coating state of the electrode are slightly worse, and the rolled electrode has bright spots, micro-cracks when folded, and low peel strength.

[0151] In Comparative Example 5, the addition of SP to the adhesive with high bonding strength caused severe agglomeration of small-particle conductive carbon black, which could not be uniformly coated on the surface of nano-sized LMFP to form a conductive network. It also consumed the binder and easily caused the slurry to rebound significantly and become unstable. As a result, the viscosity stability of the slurry was poor and the coating state of the electrode was poor. During the thick coating process, the electrode had obvious protruding particles, and the rolled electrode was brittle, had bright spots, low peel strength, and cracks when folded.

[0152] In Comparative Example 6, due to insufficient binder in the slurry, the bonding force between conductive carbon black and small-particle-size, high-specific-surface-area LMFP is weak, making it easy for separation and agglomeration to occur. This leads to the agglomeration of nano-LMFP particles, resulting in slurry gelation and sedimentation.

[0153] Example 2 is similar to Example 1 in process, except that the amount of adhesive added at one time in Example 1 is smaller. This results in better kneading of LMFP and conductive agent in the less viscous slurry, thus improving the slurry dispersion and coating condition, and allowing for better folding of the rolled electrode sheet. It is evident that the appropriate batch addition and proportion of adhesive have a crucial impact on the dispersion of nano-sized LMFP and small-particle-size conductive agent.

[0154] In summary, by adding the adhesive solution of the prepared binder in two steps in the appropriate proportions in Examples 1 and 2, and uniformly dispersing the small-particle-size, high-specific-surface-area LMFP material, the resulting LMFP slurry has a higher solids content, smaller fineness, and greater stability than other methods. Under thicker coatings, it does not crack or scratch, exhibits better electrode flexibility, and shows significant improvements in peel strength and membrane resistance.
